Brother of Leslie Mills: 'If they wanted the car, she would have given it to them'

FLINT TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- A brother of the 55-year-old Grand Blanc Township woman who was killed Sunday night when her vehicle was stolen at a gas station called his sister's slaying "totally senseless."

Leslie "Tess" Mills was at the Mobil-One Stop gas station at 4107 Corunna Road around 9 p.m. Sunday when two people approached her and shot her as they stole her car. Five people are in custody and charges are expected today.

"Why they had to kill her I have no idea," said her brother Jack Wiman, 62, who lives in Pennsylvania. "If they wanted the car, she would have
given it to him. It's just totally senseless."

Wiman called his sister a "very sweet girl" with a big heart. Her funeral is Friday at Swartz Funeral Home on Hill Road, according to her obituary.

Mills grew up in the Washington D.C. area and was one of seven children of the late Thomas and Lola Wiman, Jack Wiman said.

Wiman called the death shocking and said the family has never had anything like this happen before. He said hopes those responsible suffer in prison.

Mills' niece Nicole Mills called her aunt's death upsetting and tragic.

"She
was just a really great person," said Nicole Mills, 26. "She was 100 percent selfless. She genuinely cared about people. She was the definition
of a good Samaritan."
